Time-Out Rhythm for JULY

As a Church we set aside a Tuesday each week and provided a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out. However in these times sadly it is not possible to open and run this space….at the moment. July would normally be our sabbatical month however from this rhythm.

But…..our Tuesdays – and every day – can still be an opportunity for time out…..with God…..where we are at home or work

You are invited to pause at some time during July and be still with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

You are encouraged to speak with Him….to listen to Him.…to receive from Him…especially at this time as we seek to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church in our times.

You are encouraged to visit the PATHWAY of PEACE around the Kirkyard which is open 8am-8pm during July and August and visit the prayer stations as you walk and think and reflect and pray in these days.

You are invited to share in the Midday Prayers and Evening Prayers that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm on various days on the Kirk website and on our social media pages. We are also encouraged to pray with others in our city and across our land at 5pm….focussing on all those affected by the coronavirus.

You are invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through this week together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these particular days of 2020….You may wish to visit the Kirk for Private Prayer when the building is open 2-4pm on a Sunday afternoon.

Daily Devotions for Monday 6th July, 2020

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the LORD God, the Eternal One

Reading : PSALM 15

Meditation : take time to consider these words this morning.
A psalm of David.
Which words or images stay with you?
What is God saying to you today?

Then take time to Pray in response to this God

O LORD God,
Have mercy on us and our world we ask.
Cleanse us from the inside out
And make us more like Jesus we ask.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on your medical centre at this time
O LORD, hear our prayers at this time of day and give blessings we ask.

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from PSALM 15
Reflect on their meaning for you and pray in response…to this holy God of ours

O Living and True God, our heavenly Father, hear our evening prayers
And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sinned against us even today.
O pour out a blessing on those we name before you
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
